what's the ratio of billable hours to actual hours worked? because 1500 hours + 500 unpaid hours, while lovely for the unpaid quarter, is just a regular 40 hour work week

I wonder why

remember that amazon had their own android App Store that you can install on your phone. it turns out they immediately hosed app developers. but I’m sure epic won’t do that.

infernal machines posted:they have the choice, they can pick up an android phone at any price point and absolutely go to town except they can't because google has the same IAP payment requirements for the Play Store. almost like there is a duopoly or something Mr. Nice! posted:i don't understand what this post is complaining about. a walled garden for software on a device is not a bad thing. i don't know how anyone can look at the shitshow that is software distribution on android and think "yeah this is what i want for my device." you can have a walled garden without a requirement that every app uses your payment processor for all purchases within the app. here I've come up with a solution that wipes out Epic's "30% isn't fair!" argument. To put your app in the App Store you must choose between: the current setup with free listing and downloads but all payments must go through Apple and the current 30% cut applies; or you are free to use your own payment processor but you must pay for everything Apple has to spend money to do. Apple meets b2b prices too like $500/hr for app review (minimum five hours, updates do not receive a discount), $1/TB for app/update distribution and install, $1k per month per 10k monthly active installs for each of location API access, advertising ID access, FaceID, etc (still subject to user choice to enable or not, default disabled). no free rides and I'm sure Cook can come up with some pricing structure that would will make him and Apple shareholders happy. for small developers the current setup is a great deal, and for something popular that is a fairly small app, handles nearly all of its content delivery by itself, goes off subscription fees, and doesn't try to scape user info from every API imaginable (assuming they curb their addiction to weekly updates to A-B test poo poo) the later could make sense while still making sure Apple gets theirs for maintaining and improving the iOS platform.

Archduke Frantz Fanon posted:didnt spotify go “hey its cool if you wanna just subscribe through here, but if you use the website to subscribe we’d appreciate it” Apple forbids even mentioning being able to make a purchase outside of the App Store. no links, not even verbiage saying to “check out the website”. you can see this with apps like Netflix that have no way to subscribe to the service in the app and don’t even tell you how to do it. there’s just a login box and you gotta figure the rest out yourself.
